Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Island erupted an ash plume reaching 1,200 meters on Thursday, April 9, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported. The activity is likely caused by pressure buildup from hydrothermal processes beneath the volcano. Twelve volcanic earthquakes were recorded in the past 24 hours, and sulfur dioxide emissions were measured at 1,524 tonnes per day. Alert Level 2 remains in effect, prohibiting entry into the four-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone.
